‘Monster Hunter Riders’ Is Shutting Down on June 16th on iOS and Android After Releasing Two Years Ago

Capcom’s new free to play mobile Monster Hunter game Monster Hunter Riders for iOS and Android released back in February 2020. If you’ve not kept up with it, Monster Hunter Riders followed Monster Hunter Stories in terms of aesthetics with characters that look older and it is set in a world where monsters and riders live together featuring many series favorites like Rathalos, Zinogre, and more. Today, Capcom announced that Monster Hunter Riders is shutting down this June with in app purchases being disabled from today. This shut down is because Capcom cannot provide the same experience going forward due to some external factors. Monster Hunter Riders never made it out of Japan and it is an online-only game so this announcement stings even more for those including myself, who were hoping to play it in English in the future.

Monster Hunter Riders service will shut down on June 16th, 2022 after which it will no longer be playable. If you bought any in app purchases and have leftover orbs, you will be able to request refunds as detailed here. If you’re interested in checking it out while it is still available only in Japan, you can download it on the App Store for iOS here and Google Play for Android here. It looks like the only Monster Hunter experience that will be playable on mobile for the foreseeable future is Monster Hunter Stories which is also available on Apple Arcade. I still hope Capcom brings back Monster Hunter Freedom Unite because the iOS version was the only way to play it on a modern device officially. It sucks when even Monster Hunter of all brands sees games shut down especially when the series is stronger than it has ever been ever since Monster Hunter World released back in 2018 and with the recently released Monster Hunter Rise. Did you play Monster Hunter Riders or were you waiting on a potential localization?

‘Franz’ is a Strange Mashup of Texting-Based Adventure and “Angry Tamagotchi” from the Makers of ‘Pathologic’ and ‘Knock-Knock’

That is quite a headline, but, Franz is the kind of gaming experience that can’t be easily summarized. It’s an ambitious and unique new project from developer Ice-Pick Lodge, who made their name with the open-world horror FPS Pathologic and have also dabbled in mobile with their truly weird survival horror title Knock-Knock Game , which we reviewed back in 2014 . Ice-Pick has grown to become a fan-favorite developer due to their somewhat twisted and unconventional take on developing and storytelling, and “twisted and unconventional" are two extremely apt descriptors for their upcoming title Franz . What even is Franz ? I guess if you had to summarize, Ice-Pick describes it as “a hybrid between an SMS novel and an angry version of tamagotchi" but it also seems like the type of thing that doesn’t really have anything else before it to compare to. You can watch a very cryptic teaser trailer just below followed by a fascinating behind-the-scenes video where the game’s art dire...

Hello gentle readers, and welcome to the SwitchArcade Round-Up for July 31st, 2019. I managed to spend half of my birthday sick in bed, but I got a sweet birthday cake from my wife and some nice Spider-Man loot, so it’s hard to be upset. In today’s article, we’ve got a review of the recent shoot-em-up release Pawarumi , summaries of today’s trio of new releases, some tasty news bits, and a bunch of cool sales to dig into. Let’s roll into it! News ‘Super Smash Bros. Ultimate’ Now Features the Hero from ‘Dragon Quest’ I actually got a prediction right for once! Praise me!

There are other Dragon Quest -related items that have been added to the game alongside him, like new Mii Fighter costumes and such. If you...

SwitchArcade Round-Up: ‘BOXBOY! + BOXGIRL!’, ‘Moero Chronicle Hyper’, and Other New Releases, Ridiculous Amounts of Sales, and More

Hello gentle readers, and welcome to the SwitchArcade Round-Up for Monday, April 29th. You may have noticed that there was no SwitchArcade on Friday. I had a bit of a medical emergency and it just wasn’t possible to put anything together. Sorry! But I’m okay now, and as such I’ve decided to catch up on everything I missed. No news or reviews today, but watch for those to make their returns tomorrow. Let’s catch up! New Releases Panty Party ($14.99) I still can’t believe this is a real game that exists and is available on the Nintendo eShop. But here we are. Take control of one of a large variety of flying panties and use your special abilities to attack the enemy panties. That sentence describes a real video game. Given that the game is rated E10+, you probably shouldn’t expect anything too provocative here. Rather, it’s a sort of absurdity that you play just to see stupid-looking situations. And you can even play four-player split-screen, provided you can find three friends that w...
